Easy to see why Hondae make power at high RPM in naturally-aspirated form. |
<p>Sorry for the delay. Here's some flow bench data. The head is a 1999 BP4W. Flow bench done at stock and after a mild port and polish job done on the same cylinder of the same head.

So, looks like focus on the exhaust port? Looks like you stayed within measurement noise on the intake.
BP4W and BP05 exhaust ports are basically the same, aren't they? |

This pics shows the areas where I cut on the head. Around the seats there's an edge from the factory, I remove it/blend it to the chambers. Also unshrouded the valves. And bowlwork too.

<p>I ended up not deshrouding the valves. The gap from the oem head gasket to the cylinder bore was very minmal around some areas so I decided to play is safe and and not touch that area. </p>

What would you say would be the HP limit of a BP head? I'm getting a bit over 200wHP with mine. What sort of power with the 323 rally head? Cheers Earlysport |
